I hope you guys are having a great weekend so far! Things have been busy but fun around these parts. The highlight of Friday nightwas going to see Seinfeld live at the Jubilee- I loved the show when it was on, so being able to see him live was pretty great. Saturday started bright and early with a morning trip to the farmers market, followed by an afternoon chatting away with a fellow Edmontonian blogger, Christina @ Pinch of Healthy. The market ended up being a lot better than I remembered, and I came home with some apples, sweet carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, flavoured honey, and chicken breasts that I won’t assault your eyes with. And the blogger meet up? Gah! Why do bloggers have to be such wonderful people? We spent hours talking, and I’m seriously looking forward to seeing her again. After that, I spent some time in the kitchen [with Mom], working on a [savoury] recipe that I’ll be sharing with you guys tomorrow.

Until then, I hope you have a great day. I’m not entirely sure what’s in store for me, but I know that church, a trip to the mall, and dinner with the family are on the agenda. Happy Sunday, friends!

Hahah I can’t wat to read “22 Things That Would Be Cool About Being a Dude”! That sounds absolutely hysterical ;D. Have an amazing Sunday girl! Glad you had a great blogger meet up and can’t wait for that recipe. Oh, and thanks SO much for the shoutout <3. Virtual hug comin' your way!Christine@ Apple of My Eye recently posted..S’mores Fudge

haha, love the intro – could use that quite often the post is no problem, but how to start?
Hope you have a beautiful Sunday, your plans sound exciting. I am out for a secret guest restaurant date with Jay. Being paid to eat Mongolian food and go on a date? Def my favorite way to spend a Sunday.Ksenija @ Health Ninja recently posted..Brown Rice Milk Rice {childhood memories with a twist}

So I just opened like 12 new tabs…giving me some Sunday morning reading, lady! I’m glad you had fun at Seinfeld, although I must confess – I never liked the show. But I also hated Fraser and Everybody Loves Raymond, so maybe I just have no taste when it comes to comedy shows?
I just went for a run which was awesome but weird, and then I’m going to get some cleaning done and take Atti to the dog park later…yay easy Sunday!

I always hate how fruit gets such a bad rep, so I love seeing it get a little tlc and support! Those chocolate chip oat bars seem unreal too! How can something be that gooey and delicious looking? Mmm! I love your ‘Little Black Tee’. I have a shirt that says ‘More Issue Than Vogue’ and ‘Nothing to wear’. I love little writing like that on shirts! I stumbled upon Buzzfeed almost a year ago and LOVE it. Those reasons to be a boy are flawless. I’ve tried the whole peeing standing up thing and comfortable shoes to an event sounds like heaven! (Even though I do love me some heels!) Katherine recently posted..Random Thoughts While Running.

I am tempted to try the Peeps challenge since I love me some peeps! I’m guilty of trying the cinnamon challenge in high school. Not successful. My weekend has been pretty nice especially since I got out of the house to shoot some guns! LOL Lounging around, shopping with my mom, cupcakes, and going to my brother’s house are on the agenda today and, of course, some Elmo time!

The articles you found are all so interesting. I must admit that the stress and foods was my favorite thus far but the the challenges were pretty interesting too. We did the chubby bunny back in high school and I seriously almost choked on marshmellows. It was awful. LOL.Hollie recently posted..NYC Marathon Training Weeks 6-7

Was the market the normal size yesterday? I noticed the road wasn’t blocked off as usual and when I saw them packing up there were only three or four tents! Sadly I missed the whole Seinfeld era, but thanks for the great links! Hope your Sunday is great. Emma @ Life’s A Runner recently posted..17 While 17

Oooh thanks for the great reads! I can’t wait to check ‘em out I’ve been working on some research papers and reading literary criticisms for school all weekend. Not ideal but has to be done! Last night I did get to go out with some friends for dinner so that was a nice break. On tap for today is Mass and a Church picnic! Yay!Maggie @ Sunnyside Up Smile recently posted..Eats + Finding Balance

Love the Strathcona farmers market. I try to go once a month with a coworker. Love Irving’s farms bacon and sausage, Sunworks chicken breakfast sausage, eggs, and chicken. I also love the small bagels from some guy I can’t remember the name of:)
I took myself to see Elysium yesterday afternoon, and today my man is coming over right away after work so we can bum at Costco, then order pizza.

Er. So this is going to be random and maybe TMI. But going along with the “peeing standing up” on the Buzzfeed article, one of my guy friends had a little (or a little more than a little) to drink one night and coming out of the bathroom, exclaimed, “I just peed sitting down, and it was possibly the greatest thing ever.”Beth @ Mangoes and Miles recently posted..Why I started reading about Paleo…and why I stopped.

I actually grew up as neighbors with Jerry Seinfeld’s sister- he was at their house all of the time. It was so cool as a kid to see him (and follow him once my friends and I got our licenses lol). Always loved that show – and still watch it when it is on!meredith recently posted..Quick Hello and Peanut Butter Cookies

I am so envious you got to see Jerry Seinfeld!!!! He was my favourite in the show! Jason Alexander had several shows in July and although not the biggest George fans, mum and I tried to score tickets but they were completely sold out!

Christina’s truffles did look so good! I’m loving all of your pretty farmer’s market pictures and that’s awesome you got to see Seinfeld. Sounds like a great weekend!Sarah @ Making Thyme for Health recently posted..Truckee: Cedar House Sport Hotel

Okay I totally saved this post until Monday morning so that I could read it over my morning coffee. And then proceeded to almost spit out my coffee from laughing at the “monthly gift” GIF in the Buzzfeed article. And then again when I saw the guy attempting the cinnamon challenge. So funny! Also thanks for featuring my post.

Aren’t blogger meet ups the best? It’s amazing how well I’ve gotten along with every single blogger I’ve met. And I can’t wait to meet YOU in a month!Chelsea @ Chelsea’s Healthy Kitchen recently posted..An end of summer dinner at Blacktree

Ok. So that list of 5 Things to do to overcome Introversion is really good. But just doesn’t sound fun. Haha. Just thinking about completing one of those off the list is enough to make me run for the hills.Eating 4 Balance recently posted..Curious

Ok, I just have to say, um, YEAH!! to all of the cool dude things…especially the peeing while standing up thing since I LOVE being outdoors, but HATE having to squat! Haha! I totally lost myself in the sleep articles…I kept clicking to the next and the next…now not only do I know how to fake being awake, but I know (more) about supplements to take before bed, yoga moves, meditation ideas, AND I want to buy a pair of sleepphones! For the record, I’ve done the Saltine challenge before and KILLED it, but you couldn’t pay me to do any of the others…especially the cinnamon one! Good god, that’s gotta hurt! I still need to read Laura’s fruity post but I absolutely LOVED Chelsea’s muffin top post! It actually inspired me to post about some things today that have been bothering me recently about body image.Heather @ Kiss My Broccoli recently posted..Tuesday Truths

yay for farmer’s markets! fresh is best! and i love supporting local farmers.
i love buying lots of fruit at markets and baking with the extra or making jamsKatherine recently posted..Watermelon Arugula Feta Salad with Mint

Great links, especially Laura’s Ode to fruit. As a fellow fruit-a-holic, it made me happy.
As far as Chelsea’s muffin top goes, I say buy a larger size pair of pants. Muffin top gone. It’s so easy to feel crappy about our bodies when our clothes don’t fit properly for whatever reason. Glad to see someone embrace it. Links like this and celebs without makeup make me wonder if we shouldn’t do bloggers caught unawares…no make up, muffin tops exposed. It would certainly promulgate a more realistic picture. Hmmm.
Glad to hear farmers marketing (yes, I made it a verb) made the list along with your other Sunday activities. Those colorful cauliflower are so cute. I’d have to buy one of every shade.Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets recently posted..Week In Review: The CSA Edition
